Temperatures last week were warmer than average -- coming in at 3.7 degrees above normal. No one day was excessively hot or cold, with Wednesday's 92 degree high the only day last week above 90 degrees as the overall weather profile for last week was pretty typical for summer...lots of 80's, scattered thunderstorms on several days, but no heat waves or cold snaps during the week. The biggest weather story was probably the funnel cloud sightings at a couple of different times last week in New Jersey, along with some scattered storms that caused some damage in parts of the area on Wednesday afternoon.
The operative word with the storms of last week were "scattered" since not all of the region benefited from their rains. In fact, Philadelphia picked up just 0.09" of rain last week and other areas to the south picked up nary a drop or two of rain through the course of the week. Allentown, on the other hand, picked up over two inches of rain on Thursday from thunderstorm activity and Reading, just 30 miles away, picked up only four tenths of an inch for the entire week.
